When you're listening to your iTunes on shuffle and it kicks out
Interpol, the
Bravery or
She Wants Revenge, you probably have a hard time distinguishing between them, right? We don't mean to beat a 2006-era joke into the ground, but they all do sound kinda the same. Which is quite unlike their spiritual fathers, '70s British post-punkers
Joy Division.
Now that's a band that still sounds unique to this day. Perhaps that's why Disney has gone so far as to cop Joy Division style
for shirts, why there are Joy Division
walking tours, or why former Joy Division bassist
Peter Hook continues desperately
selling himself on the back of the band's ghost.
